Blackcurrants are small, dark berries grown widely in Northern and Eastern Europe and especially loved in Britain. They bring an intense, tangy, almost wine-like berry flavor and a rich purple color to the cup. Blackcurrant is a natural match for black tea, where it adds a fruity depth, and it also shines in fruit blends with hibiscus, apple, elderberry and other berries. Blackcurrant tea is wonderful hot on a cold day and equally refreshing over ice.

Cornflower, also called bachelor's button, is a European wildflower that once grew freely in grain fields, which gave it its name. Its petals are prized for their striking blue color rather than a strong taste, offering only a faint, mild, slightly sweet floral note. You will often see cornflower scattered through Earl Grey and Lady Grey style black teas, as well as green tea and herbal blends. It makes any blend look as good in the tin as it tastes in the cup.

Mallow flowers come from the common mallow plant, a hardy wildflower found across Europe, North Africa and Asia. The dried blossoms have a very mild, slightly sweet and grassy taste, so they are prized mostly for their beauty and soft texture. They add striking blue and purple color to herbal, fruit and green tea blends, mixing well with rose, lavender and hibiscus. Fun fact: mallow infusion can shift from blue to pink when you add a squeeze of lemon.

Rosehips are the small, round fruit that form on wild rose bushes after the flowers fade, traditionally gathered across Europe and Chile. They brew a mild, fruity, gently tangy cup with notes of apple and cranberry and a warm orange-red color. Rosehips are a favorite base for fruit and herbal blends, pairing well with hibiscus, orange peel, apple and berries, and they also work with rooibos. Their tartness makes them excellent for iced tea, lightly sweetened with honey.
